Literacy   

This week in Literacy we will be exploring poems written by Michael Rosen, ‘The News’ and ‘Hands on the Bridge’. We will use strategies to support us in learning these poems, such as using actions, focusing on the rhythm and drawing images. We will then have a go at reciting these poems and performing them to our peers.   

This week in maths we will be exploring measure. We will compare, describe and solve practical problems for lengths and heights. For example, using the vocabulary long/short, longer/shorter, tall/short, double/half.   

We will measure items and begin to record lengths and heights.
